New Glock 46 - G19 sized 9mm with rotating barrel

[Buckaroo]

Had a fella just this week shoot himself in the leg while disassembling what I assume was a Glock.

"Police said the man was in a truck parked in the 1000 block of East Center Street around 10:15 a.m. when he decided to disassemble a .45-caliber pistol. The gun had a round in the chamber and while the man was taking the firearm apart it discharged, wounding him in the leg, police said."

The American market probably wont be happy with this handgun except for its novelty. Rotating barrel designs don't tilt to accommodate feeding. My initial guess is that this pistol wont be to friendly to anything but ball ammunition.

I can always be proven wrong, but your suggestion, that the tilting barrel design better accommodates the feeding cycle, is baseless. There are and have been a plethora of handgun designs where the barrel is fixed or maintains its horizontal alignment and they do not suffer from feeding issues: the P-08, P38, Beretta 92, not to mention P7s and PX4s. And that's only talking handguns. I don't know of any short recoil locked breech tilting barrel sub guns.

Looks like Glock has a new 19 sized pistol that has a rotating barrel ... to meet a new German Police requirement of being able to be stripped without pulling the trigger

It eludes me how it is necessary to go from perfected ("Glock Perfection") Browning tilting barrel design to (usually) troublesome rotating barrel just to be able to strip pistol without pulling the trigger.

I just stripped my polymer framed, striker fired, tilting barrel pistol without pulling the trigger.

Just mine (sarcastic) 0.03zł

Yeah, I can't think of many/any rotating barrel designs that stick in my mind.

Are you kidding or being sarcastic? Like another member already said, Beretta make rotating barrel pistols in their PX4 system.

Imitation is the most sincere form of forgery.

Don't forget the glorious Colt 2000.

In addition Beretta here a some other rotating barrel pistols...

Stoeger cougar
Colt 2000
Grand Power K100/P1
Boberg XR9
Hell JMB made one in 1897

Not a new concept for sure.
